. DETAILS DECIDED AIR SPEED CLASSI Mtention o Sughtest Item in Manfuacture Spells Success Detroit, Mich,, Dec. 22.~~Refinement of detall and not new or unique de- slgn won out when the Curtiss army raver crossed the finish for a world's record In the Pulizer airplane classic here recently. , Not Bpeediest Engine Lieutenant L. P. Maughn's record of better than 206 miles per hour averaged for 156 miles around a closed circuit, with 15 sharp turns, and his unofticlal record of 248 miles per hour on stralghtaway, are mat- ters of acronautical history. But, few people realize that these records were made with an engine less powerful than the Liberty, and that there were machines in the race whose engines greatly exceeded the winners 375 h. p. This 18 where the refinement of de- tall came in, according to aviation of- ficlals. Every line was moulded to fit the pressure of terrific resistance. Nét a bolt or screw was left to catch the alr, and every fitting that held strehmlined struts and streamlined wires in place was within the wings or fusclagy e ’ Daring Mancuvers Lieutenant Maughn's speed was such that a hole in the wing would have meant ripping off of the wing cover as if by explosion. The speed cauled them to throw his ship on its back in an endeavor to circle the pylons which marked the turns, 3 Victory Disappointment The victory of.a biplane was a dis- appointment to some designers .who bellevéd the day of the monoplane had come, In the monoplane, the strutg and *brace wires are done away with ‘as the single, thick wing carries its bracing inside of itself. This eliminates an enormous amount of what designers call ‘“‘parasite resis- tance.” However, they believe that when the research has been lavished upon the monoplane that has been given the biplane, flying will be well on the way to the 500 miles an-hour pace which some experts are promis- ing. The fitting of wings, control sur- faces, etc,, of the Curtiss racer can be compared only with the perfection of detail that nature has worked out in the brook trout the salmon and the muskellong. It is the last word in refinement as applied to the mam- made biplane, Advancement from this point will require either that the plane be a living creature, or that some entirely new and better princi- ple of construction be evolved, de- clare officers of aviation societies, TRADE EXPLORERS Sweden Seeking Markets for Their Products by Sending Ship Load of Literature to South Amecrica. Stockholm, Dec. 22.—A new Viking vessel from Sweden, manned with ex- pert salesmen armed with literature on up-to-date railroad engines; will sail shortly for South America. This unique way of finding new markets for thelr products has been decised by Swedish locomotive build- ers, who have just delivered the two hundredth locomotive on an order from the Russian Soviet. A fine steam | yacht of 500 tons has been purchased in Spain, and will be fitted out for the expedition. 'A commander. of the Bwedish Navy has been secured to serve as skipper, and his crew will Include several of the men who have Just completed a round-the-world cruise on a sailing yacht. The president of the company, to- - géther with several of his technical experts, will direct the work of the expedition. It is expected that most of the South American republics will be visited. Swedish locomotives have formed a big item) in Sweden's exports to Rus. sla, and shipments are continuing, though the number originally ordered by the Soviet has been reduced. QUALIFIES AS LINGUIST of Italy Speaks Four Languages Fluently — Was Youthful , Dictator Professor and Editor, Rome, Dec. 22.—Benito Mussolini, the youthful legal dictator of Italy] is an accomplished linguist. Besides bis mother tongue, Italian, he pos- sesses, in the order named, knowledge of French, German and English. He learned French at an early age and he speaks it without the slight- est accent. FKor some years before the war he was a professor of French‘ Iiterature in the University of Milan ‘While an editor on a newspaper published in Trento and owned by Cesare Batistl, the Italian patriot ex- ecuted by the Austrlans during the war, he studied German, and while his pronunciation is not on a par with his French, he has a profound knowl- edge of Goethe's tongue. Seriously wounded during the war he remained two months in a hos- pital. There, during his convalence, he took up the study of English. “I hardly think I could qualfy to make a speech in the American con- gress,” he said to a friend recently, “put,”” he added, with a touch of pride, “I read the Enhglish newspa- pers myself.” CONVERTED TO OIL BURNERS Yokohama, Dec. 22.—All the Nip- pon Ysen Kaisha liners operating be- tween Yokohama and the Atlantic seaboard of Ameriga are to be con- verted into oil burners.

Gothenburg, Dec. 22.—Irom Goths enberg, Sweden, to New York in one- fiftieth of a second—no more time will be required for the transmission of a wireless message when the pow- erful new radio station near Varberg, south of Gothenburg, is finished. ‘The work on the half million dollar contract by the Radlo Corporation of America for -the equipment of this station has begun in earnest. A large force of men is busy on the founda- tions for the masts for the two sepa- rate systems of antennae¢, one for sending and the other for receiving. One of the first steps is the installa- tion of a so-called balance net, which consists of copper wires laid in the earth at regular intervals. This new radio station, which prob- ably will be known as the Grimeton station, will be used for simultaneous messages in both directions between Sweden and the United States. The radio system which is to be installed is the now universally known Alex- anderson system, invented by the Swedish engineer E. T. W. Alexan- derson, who is now associated with the Radio Corporation of America as chief engineer. The mechanism at Grimeton will work automatically, re- auiring: only two or three attendants for the receiving division and about a dogzen for the sending division. The actual handling of messages will be done;at Gothenburg through land wires,gonnected with Grimeton, ARACK TO CEMETERY 5 e Scengiof Famous Races to Be Resting Places For Dead Ones.

Vienna, Dec. 22.—On the ‘spot where, tradition says, stood Suliman’s tent when his Turkish legions be- sieged Vienna in 1683, the first cre- matory in the territory of the old empire is shortly to be opened. With the estdblishment of the re- public the prohibition against crema- tion disappeared, and the city now has erected an exceedingly graceful little building to be devoted to this method of disposing of the dead. It stands in a park surrounded by an ancient, towered and battlemented wall, on a hill to the southeast of the Vienna. The wall once surrounded the grounds of a hunting castle built by the then emperor as a memorial to the defeat of the Turks.
